Hortonworks Paid-AMIs also include: (a) the underlying software, scripts, checkers and other files comprising the Hortonworks Paid-AMIs that are accessed through a network by Customer; (b) any authorization keys or passwords that Hortonworks may provide to Customer, which may work along with access systems provided by AWS, in order for Customer to access and use the Hortonworks Paid-AMIs; (c) any Documentation; (d) any updates and modifications to the foregoing items, and (e) the command line interface made available for download within a Hortonworks Product UI. For clarity, Hortonworks SmartSense is not a Hortonworks Paid-AMI and access and use thereof is subject to separate agreement. 1.7 "Intellectual Property" means any and all rights to any patents, inventions, copyrights, works of authorship, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, and all other intellectual property (whether an application has been perfected or not, and whether registered or unregistered and including the right to register such intellectual property) that are, in each case, protected under the laws of any governmental authority having jurisdiction. 1.8 "Pre-Existing Intellectual Property" means: (a) Intellectual Property in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and (b) Intellectual Property that a party creates or develops under this Agreement and without the use of the other party's Confidential Information. 1.9 "SmartSense" means the Hortonworks SmartSense product, a free and optional software tool that collects, transmits and analyzes certain cluster diagnostic data, facilitates the identification of potential issues in data systems, and can be used by Hortonworks to provide support for Hortonworks Products and recommend specific solutions and actions. 2.

Customer is being provided access to the Hortonworks Products for use solely (a) through the AWS platform or infrastructure Customer obtains pursuant to, and in accordance with the AWS Terms and Conditions, as defined below, and; (b) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. No other access or use is permitted. Any rights granted to Customer under this Agreement are conditioned on its continued compliance with this Agreement and will be immediately and automatically terminated if Customer does not comply with these Agreement terms. 2.2 Optional and Free Support. Hortonworks offers Customers certain optional and free support services through HCC for AWS. Customer must be a current Hortonworks Product subscriber in order to access or use HCC for AWS. Customer agrees and acknowledges that access to HCC for AWS requires acceptance of the applicable terms and conditions, privacy and forum policies upon registration for access to HCC for AWS. 2.3 SmartSense. SmartSense, made available under a separate agreement, is not a Hortonworks Paid-AMI and is not, therefore, subject to the permissions granted in Section 2.1. Upon acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, Customer will be presented with a SmartSense agreement which includes terms and conditions related to enablement of SmartSense and will be given the opportunity to opt-in to the use of SmartSense to transmit certain Customer data cluster information ("SmartSense Data") to Hortonworks. If Customer decides not to opt-in to such data transmission, SmartSense functionality as described in this Section will be disabled and will not transmit SmartSense Data to Hortonworks. If Customer decides, in its sole discretion, to sign up for the free and optional support delivered through HCC for AWS, and also opts-in to the transmission of SmartSense Data to Hortonworks, the SmartSense Data and the resulting analytical information may be used by Hortonworks to provide Customer more detailed support solutions through HCC for AWS. If Customer decides to contact Hortonworks for upgraded or enhanced paid support for the Hortonworks Products, and also opts-in to the transmission of SmartSense Data to Hortonworks, the SmartSense Data may, in addition, be used by Hortonworks in its efforts to proactively identify potential issues related to Customer's deployment of Hortonworks Products, communicate such issues to Customer and work with Customer on measures intended to avoid potential issues in advance. With enhanced, paid support, SmartSense is also enabled to provide Hortonworks with data to help configure, fix and identify Customer data systems for more detailed and specific Hortonworks Product deployment support on Customer's AWS environment. 2.4 Data Access and Privacy. All access, storage, administration, or manipulation of Customer data under this Agreement are controlled solely by Customer within the AWS infrastructure or when using the command line interface, and the Hortonworks Products operate solely as an operating instance on Customer's cloud environment obtained by Customer pursuant to the AWS Terms and Conditions. AWS' security and privacy policies and audited security reports for data security and data privacy compliance may apply to the Customer's data and Customer's data access, storage, or administration. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such data security or data privacy compliance obligations shall be obtained from AWS directly. 2.5 Restrictions. Customer will not use the Hortonworks Products other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement, and in no event, in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or to exceed the limitations agreed to with respect to access and use under applicable AWS terms and policies which may be found at https://aws.amazon.com/legal/?nc1=f_cc ("AWS Terms and Conditions").

The Hortonworks Products are only available under this Agreement for access and use through a network connection. No copies will be provided and no distribution of any software is intended. Customer will not modify, distribute any copies of, create derivative works based on, or tamper with, such Hortonworks Products. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the warranty provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, Customer may download and run the command line interface made available for download within a Hortonworks Product UI, solely for data Customer owns and in connection with the use of the Hortonworks Products. Customer will not license, sublicense, sell, resell, loan, rent, lease, transfer, assign, or distribute the Hortonworks Products.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer does not have any license, right, or authority to subject the Hortonworks Products, in whole or in part or as part of a larger work, to any terms of any other license agreement. 2.6 Acceptable Use. Customer's access and use of the Hortonworks Products must comply with the then current AWS Acceptable Use Policy, found at https://aws.amazon.com/aup/, which may change from time to time. 2.7 Reservation of Rights. Hortonworks Products, including all full and partial copies thereof, are and remain the exclusive property of Hortonworks or its licensors. Except for the limited access and use rights expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license or other rights in or to the Hortonworks Products or to Hortonworks intellectual property rights therein, are granted to Customer. Hortonworks may change, discontinue, or deprecate the Hortonworks Products or change or eliminate features or functionality from time to time.

Without limiting the disclaimers in Section 7 of this Agreement, Hortonworks has implemented reasonable and appropriate measures to test the Hortonworks Products. Customer is responsible for configuration and secure operation of, as well as secure connectivity to, the Hortonworks Products, which may include the use of encryption technologies, and for taking steps to maintain appropriate security and to back up its data. Customer is responsible for keeping its login credentials and any private keys secure and under its control at all times. Customer is responsible for secure transmission, population, maintenance, security, protection, loss prevention, and backup of Customer data and other content. Customer will ensure that its data and other content are free of all viruses or other types of malware, which could harm the systems or software used on AWS and the Hortonworks Product. Customer will ensure that it collects, maintains and handles all data in compliance with all applicable data privacy and protection laws, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding any assistance or consulting that Hortonworks may provide, Hortonworks is not responsible for any aspect of the AWS services, including its availability, reliability, security, and privacy. Customer is responsible for monitoring its access to, and use of, the Hortonworks Products and the AWS services, including payment of all fees and/or taxes related to such access and use, and is responsible for all activities that occur under Customer's account. Customer is responsible for ensuring that any end users under its account comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall immediately terminate access of any end user it knows of or reasonably should know of who is violating this Agreement or accessing or attempting to access Hortonworks Products without authorization. Customer agrees that Hortonworks is permitted to request and receive information from AWS related to your use of the Hortonworks Products for auditing purposes. 3. FEES; PAYMENT TERMS. Current prices for the Hortonworks Products are as set forth on the Marketplace page for Hortonworks Products and may change at anytime. For existing Customer's paying on an annual subscription basis, any new pricing will not apply to Customers that are still within the term of their current annual subscriptions. The price changes shall apply to any new subscriptions and renewals of annual subscriptions. Payment terms related to Customer's payment of fees for access to, and usage of, the Hortonworks Products will be as agreed to between Customer and AWS, and Customer agrees to pay any such agreed upon fees pursuant to the agreement between Customer and AWS. Other than as set forth in Section 4, all disputes related to the payment or collection of fees and other expenses shall be between AWS and Customer. Hortonworks is not liable for any damages or liabilities arising from any disputes between AWS and Customer. Notwithstanding the above, Hortonworks reserves the right to pursue legal action against Customer for non-payment of any fees due and payable to Hortonworks. Refunds are not supported unless purchases of subscriptions to the Hortonworks Products are due to mistake, error or an upgrade or downgrade of Customer's subscription levels. These refund conditions are time-limited and are subject to Customer's payment terms with AWS and the AWS Terms and Conditions. Please contact AWS Customer Support for any specific refund requests. 4. TERM AND TERMINATION. 4.1 Term.

CONFIDENTIALITY. 6.1 Obligations. For a period of three (3) years from the date of disclosure of the applicable Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will (i) hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in trust and confidence and avoid the unauthorized disclosure or release thereof to any other person or entity by using the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to avoid unauthorized use, disclosure, or dissemination of its own confidential information of a similar nature, but, in no event, less than a reasonable degree of care, and (ii) not use Confidential Information for any purpose except as expressly contemplated under this Agreement; provided that, to the extent Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the Receiving Party agrees to protect such information for so long as it qualifies as a trade secret. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to those of the Receiving Party's employees and contractors having a need to know such Confidential Information, provided that the Receiving Party takes reasonable measures to ensure that such employees and contractors comply with the provisions of this Section 6. Each party shall be liable for all violations of this Section 6 by its employees and contractors. 6.2 Exclusions.

Any Confidential Information contained in such archival copies or back-up files shall, however, remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 6. 6.4 Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the obligations of this Section 6 may cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm for which an adequate remedy at law may not be available and that, therefore, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies available at law. 7.

To the full extent permitted by applicable law, Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Hortonworks, its affiliates and its licensors, and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives ("Hortonworks Indemnitees") from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to any third party claim concerning: (a) Customer's use of the Hortonworks Product; (b) breach of this Agreement, the terms of the licenses governing such Hortonworks Products, or violation of applicable law by Customer; (c) any content in Customer's AWS account or the combination of such content with other applications, content or processes (including combination with the Hortonworks Products), including any claim involving alleged infringement or misappropriation of third-party Intellectual Property rights or misappropriation third party's trade secrets; (d) breach of any obligation or duty Customer owes to a third party including, but not limited to, any breach of an agreement between Customer and AWS or the Marketplace terms and conditions; or (e) damage to the AWS platform, networks or services caused by Customer's use of the Hortonworks Products, including but not limited to, data breach or the introduction of viruses, trojan horses, or similar malicious software onto the AWS platform, networks or services (collectively, "Hortonworks Claim").

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT HORTONWORKS' LIABILITY, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, FOR: (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY, (II) FRAUD, (III) FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (IV) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
